20 Creatively Controversial Print Advertisements

But today I have a rather harsh post to share. This is not for everybody, this is not for sensitive people. Even though these ads were publicized on public places so they were exposed to mass audience, including children and everybody else, we do not recommend children under 16 to view this.

So here’s the official legal message:

Warning: children and weak hearted people should not see this page.

The ads we have selected do not include nudity. We have also not featured any advertisement which focused on controversy for the sake of controversy. These ads are highly creative and inspiring. Some are even funny.

Conclusion

Controversy is an easy way to attract attention, but it is not necessarily the best policy to become popular. It a good idea avoid controversy if you can. So avoid it if you can, but if you mix it with humor, or a good moral cause, then it becomes a lethal combination.
